Your Guide To Bozeman’s Neighborhoods

Our Bozeman neighborhood guide will help you find a variety of neighborhoods in Bozeman that suit your personal preferences. Whether you want to be closer to the hustle and bustle of downtown, or prefer a quieter, more residential area like Valley West, you’re sure to find the right place for you. Discover the different areas of Bozeman below – one of them could even be the location of your next home!
 

DOWNTOWN BOZEMAN

Bozeman’s downtown district spans several blocks, with the central area sandwiched between Rouse and Willson Avenues. Main Street is full of shops, restaurants, and bars, and living in walking distance is certainly a huge plus!
 
Stroll along sidewalks lined with historic western buildings, and simply soak up the lively atmosphere. In the summer, enjoy Music on Main, a free concert series that shuts down Main Street to traffic each Thursday for six weeks. There’s almost always something going on downtown, and being close to the hustle and bustle is part of the fun!
 
There are plenty of opportunities to purchase older homes or new builds in Downtown Bozeman. Block M, The Village, and NEBO Lofts are all great options for places to live downtown.

Despite the rural feel, you’ll only be about a 10 minute drive from downtown!
 

NORTHEAST BOZEMAN

This area of Bozeman is truly unique. New, modern homes intermix with older, eclectic ones in what was once Bozeman’s industrial district. Some companies are capitalizing on the industrial feel and creating builds that capture that style, like High Street Townhomes and Block 106. The people living there feel just as passionate about preserving Northeast Bozeman’s funky vibes that there’s an organization, NENA, that’s dedicated to doing so.
 
While you’re still close to downtown, there are also plenty of exciting businesses to visit in Northeast Bozeman, like Treeline Coffee and Mountains Walking Brewery. Grab a sandwich from the popular Fink’s Delicatessen or a delicious baked good from Wild Crumb.
 

OUTSKIRTS OF BOZEMAN

If you’re looking for a home surrounded by nature in a quiet, more rural setting, Bozeman’s outskirts might be perfect for you! You’ll be greeted with plentiful wildlife spotting opportunities, panoramic mountain views, and the peace and solitude you desire. However, you’ll still be just a short drive from Bozeman!
 
Here are some fantastic Bozeman neighborhoods just outside of town.
 
Legends at Bridger Creek
 
If you love golf or skiing, this might be the perfect subdivision for you! Located at the bottom of the Bridger Mountains on Bozeman’s east side, this neighborhood is only 20 minutes from Bridger Bowl, Bozeman’s local ski area, and minutes from an 18-hole golf course. In addition, you have miles of trails and a huge park just outside your front door.
